DAILY HERALD.
COUNTERFEITERS.
A New Development at
San Diego.
SPURIOUS MONEY OFFERED.
The Letter of a Swindler Falls Into
Wrong Hands. A Scheme
Exposed.

For some weeks past morning paper
of this city has been publishing accounts
of smuggling at San Diego and by impli'
cation a number of residents of that place
were connected with it. Mr.. j. M.
Brooks, United States District Attorney,
went to San Diego and made a careful
investigation. He found that there
was nothing in the rumor Whatever
and the United States was safe SO far as
invasions over the line near San Diego
were concerned. The outcome OF the
smuggling business was very gratifying
to the people, but not so much so to the
Times reporter who started the bugaboo.
1t now becomes the HERALD's pecul-
lar privilege to make public matter
originating at San Diego which men
aces the people of this city and
of all California. Some fellow
who went to San Diego and got stranded
at tina. village, engaged in the msnufac-
ture of counterfeit money. He addressed
a letter to Ill. Beere, Los Angeles, otfer-
ing to sell him large amount OF the
spurious money at very low rate.
Fortunately the letter fell into the hands
of Mr.. III. Baer, the well'known whole
sale wine dealer, who will turn 1t over to
the United States authorities.
The letter reads as follows:
SAN DIEGO, June Oh.
Mr., II. BEERE, DEAR SIR:-Excuse
the liberty / take in addressing you
Your business manner, which, L am In
formed through my agent. Is very aecu-
rate, leaves me at rest that our contlden-
tial business will never be mentioned. L
want to ioform you that have currency |
to any amount, in denominations of fives |
(S5l, tens $50, aud twenty (S20) dollar
bills, which will sell for two hundred |
(S2OOl dollars per thousand (SlO0O), or
on receipt of five ($5) dollars will send
twenty $500 dollars for sample. re-
main in Lower California from this date,
9th June, till Doth July. l will not
correspond after said date, as l ex'
pect to cross the line. Direct
all letters by Postoffice Registered.
Sign with given number, your name l
| know. Goods will be sent by Wells,
Fargo & Co. Express, labeled dry goods.
Use the greatest precaution in directing
and receiving. Your number is O-P-l3.
l remain confdentaily yours,
j. CoRTEs MCDONALD,
San Diego, Gala.
The letter is in the hand writing OF a
woman, and ia horribly mis-spellsd. 1t
would be we'll for all merchants u scru.
tinize bills very closely, is it is reported
that several counterfeits have been
passed in this city recently. MIR. Baer
has done the proper thing in letting this
matter be known at once, as the In
formation may be the means of saving
good many people from being swindled.
The only thiog that looks tishy about
the business is the junction of the names
of sCortes" and mcdonald.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
A Review of the Days TRANSACT
ffnns.

NEW YORK, June 8.-The stock Market
was fairly active to-day, but continued
from heavy to weak throughout almost the
entire time. Traders, who are still bearish'
" inclined, were active in hammering the
m ara ct, and in the absence Of unfayoraoie
news circulated report of the death OF
Emperor william, and rumors in regard to
the health of Gould. No confirmation
could be had for any of these stories, but
they served their purpose for time'
Among the specialties several sharp breaks
occurred, st. Paul aud Duluth being the
most prominent. The dividend OF the
Western Union had no effect whateyer on
the course OF the stock, it having been fully
discounted during the past two days AT
the close the market was quiet and steady.
Almost the entire active list is lower this
evening, and St. Paul aud Duluth is down
